Australian children’s book author, illustrator and visual storyteller. I weave magic, creativity and fun into all I do.
One minute you’re surrounded by hot cross buns and chocolate eggs and the next the freight train of flowers, fragrant-filled bath sets and mum mugs are filling the shops. As a motherless daughter, the pink-laden lead-up to Mother’s Day can fill me with dread.
I feel that when you’ve lost someone you love, birthdays change with them. Today marks my late mum’s would-be 56th year, and I share my musings on what celebrating looks like to me amidst grief, love and a dry sense of humour.
It’s been six months since I moved interstate and while I’m definitely not a Wollongong local I personally feel like I qualify as ‘settled in’. Life changes aren’t always easy but they can be just what we need. I share my reflections on what the last few months of life has looked like.
After years of overlapping my vision boards between life and business, this year I’m changing my approach. Setting health boundaries and separating the two for more thoughtful and intentional creation. I’ve outlined my step-by-step guide with insights into the fun and crafty ritual of visual manifesting.
A open letter and snippet of thoughts for the upcoming year. Like sustainably sourced dark chocolate, it’s a little bit sweet and bitter but overall quite nice.
I’ve left a lot of hyperfixations, hobbies and career paths on the metaphorical floor over the years. I felt a lot of shame about this for quite a while. After my ADHD diagnosis I grieved for the support systems I didn’t have growing up and how much I internalised the shame I felt over the failures I’ve had along my career path. Now I’m relearning how I define success and find a healthy balance on my business journey.
